Don't pigeonhole buying demographics into cliches and blurbs, you will not be able to predict anything.

Let's see here.... this one's just about Japan, but I'll try to find more:

Whoop! Found it!

http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/153048/nintendo-average-age-of-wii-player-is-29-years-old/

I was off by a couple of years though. D'oh!

Aha, so the majority of Wii gamers in Japan are females between the ages of 40 and 62. I told you this will save the gaming idustry from censoship.

Second link is a title, nothing more. It's like Sony sayind that they have 20+ million PSN accounts without any explanation.

Don't be obtuse, it is saying that they make up a significant demographic, which brings up the average age.

When you say that the average age of your players is 29, the language there is very specific. There is no room for ambiguity. This is not buyers. It is players.
